This article seeks to contribute to the study of party-building in the subnational level in Peru. Since the regional and municipal elections from 2002 to 2014, there has been a scenario of high party volatility and low partisan rooting. Only ten (10) regional political parties have been able to participate consecutively during the elections of this period. Therefore, this document explores how these political organizations managed to be stable and to present without interruption candidacies to subnational electoral processes. When analyzing various explanatory dimensions, it is found that the dimension that best answers this question is the previous political experience that the leadership had at the time of establishing such regional political parties.
